 Push up firmly on the center of the cups to reseat them. Occasionally they drop a bit.
 Cups are replaceable.
Replace wind directional vane and wind cups
Replace the wind directional vane:
 Gently remove the piece of plastic in the top center of the vane to reveal the screw that holds the
vane to the sensor.
 Remove the screw.
 Gently pull the vane straight up and off of the sensor.
 Carefully place the new vane on the sensor; notice the groove to seat it properly.
 Insert screw through the vane to the sensor and tighten properly.
Note: Do not over-tighten.
 The wind vane is seated in a groove and cannot be put on backwards to change directional readings.
 When operating in the Southern Hemisphere, face wind sensor South and it will still receive plenty of
sun overhead to charge.
Replace wind cups:
 In the bottom center of the wind cups, there is a plastic lock pin. Gently pry the lock pin out of the
wind cups.
 Firmly grasp the wind cups and pull straight off the sensor.
 Check to be sure that you have a metal magnet in the wind cups.
 Check that there is a metal bearing in the wind cups or on the stem of the sensor where the cups
attach.
 Look at the new wind cups and be sure there is a bearing and magnet in place.
 Install the cups onto the wind sensor and press firmly.
 Insert a new lock pin into the cups and push firmly until the lock pin is flush with the bottom of the
cups.
Wind direction is working wind speed is 0.00
 Check that the wind cups attach to the sensor. Occasionally they can come off.
 Check that the cups seat properly by pushing up in the center of the cups.
 Check that the cups spin freely.
Wind reading is intermittent of shows dashes
 RF (radio frequency) interference
is normal; the occasional outage is possible.
 Check for sources of RF (radio frequency) interference such as Ham radio or electric transformers
nearby.
 Move the weather station away from cordless phones, wireless routers, etc.
 Check the environment for unusual moist/humid conditions (moisture reduces RF (radio frequency)
signal in electronics).
 Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of sensor signal.
 Relocate the wind sensor closer to the thermo-hygro sensor.
 Mounting on a metal or white PVC pole may cause RF interference or static.
 Please note if there are certain times of the day or night that the unit lose signal. Details are helpful in
resolving the problem.
 Check that batteries are fresh in the thermo-hygro sensor.
 Complete a factory restart
.
Wind speed is inaccurate
 Check the unit of measure (MPH, KM/H or M/S).
 Check to see if the weather station receives the same repetitive wind speed recording from the
sensor multiple times.
 Confirm the direction is working correctly.
